Hello everyone,
In an interface page I created an automation that is launched when I click on a button.
The automation will allow me to duplicate a record.
However, when this automation runs, I stay on the page of the record I've just duplicated.
Is there any way of adding a step in the automation, or whatever, so that the new record, which is the duplicate, is displayed?
Thank you for your help.
Julien

Yes, that’s another good idea to sort from newest records to oldest records.
Or you could group the records by a status field, and “newly duplicated” or “new” could be the top group.

No, because Airtable automations can’t control the user’s window.
However, on the original record’s page, you could add a link to the newly-duplicated record that people can click on, which would then take them to the duplicated record.
Just add a URL field to your table, and at the end of the automation, update the URL field with the URL of the newly-duplicated record.
Then, your users can click on that link to take themselves to the newly-duplicated record.
p.s. If your company has a budget for your project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with any of this, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consulting — ScottWorld

Scott,
thank you for the reply!
I just wanted to improve a process that already works in another way.
I go back to the global page of my interface, which lists my records, and I sort by displaying the last record created at the top of the list.
The idea of adding a field is another good idea in any case.
Thank you very much.
